Four weeks exploring the book of Esther, drawing out four different types of courage that are found within this story.
A courage of conviction, a courage of inconvenience, a courage of calling and a courage of change.
C S Lewis said courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at its testing point. Courage is the place where conviction meets compassion and they come together.
